Hail to the King — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hail to the King is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, for four players with at most one human seat. The author frames it as a story of betrayal and imprisonment, where a ruler must uncover what happened and reclaim a lost throne. Red is the human-capable color, while Orange, Purple and Teal are computer-only, and no teams are set. Castle, Dungeon, Stronghold, Necropolis and Fortress appear among the factions. Rock covers about 40 percent of the terrain. Eleven towns, nine monoliths and portals, and artifacts such as the Boots of Speed are scattered across the map, with wandering Minotaur Kings and Fire Elementals along the way. Victory means capturing a specific town, and losing a particular hero ends the game. Difficulty is Expert.
